partman-base && GPT
As you may or may not know, I modified partman-zfs to support Linux (ZoL)
a couple of years ago. I've taken up the project again, and got into
a little … 'pickle'.
It _seems_ that when partman creates a GPT partition, it does so using
the 'EBD0A0A2-B9E5-4433-87C0-68B6B72699C7' GUID ('Windows Basic data partition').
This gives, amongst other things, the problem that grub can't boot it
(it can't "embed the something' :). I've (well, actually an Illumos
developer) modified grub to recognize the CORRECT guid -
'6A898CC3-1DD2-11B2-99A6-080020736631' (Solaris /usr partition (OSX ZFS)).
The partman-zfs does a "open_dialog NEW_LABEL loop" (which I always
thought was weird, but it seems that all the other partman-*
does the same thing).
But I'm not sure this is "my" fault for 'something else'… Any ideas?
